About our shower tray repair in Great Waltham
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that flexes.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Great Waltham. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Great Waltham: your questions answered
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Great Waltham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
